Standard specifications

In today’s highly competitive marketplace, meeting the demand for just-in-time deliveries,

flexible packaging, the freshest products, or the highest production line efficiencies can be crucial

to a company’s success. Efforts to meet these demands have led to the development of

automation systems for the end-of-line and distribution processes of palletizing and depalletizing.

Kawasaki’s robotic palletizing solutions provide the pallet pattern flexibility, tooling flexibility,

and cycle times needed to deal with multi-variety and small-batch production, and reduce process

change costs.

Kawasaki Robotics offers tow different lines of palletizing robots with a wide range of payload

options to suit most needs, including model RD80N with a maximum payload of 80 kg and models

CP180L/300L/500L/700L with maximum payloads of 180/300/500/700 kg. Each has industry

leading reach, speed and quality to deliver high-performance automation technology for most any

palletizing application.

Kawasaki can provide a solution to give your production line the palletizing flexibility and

product rate it needs to compete in today's economy.

Kawasaki’s high-speed palletizing robots

meet the demands for flexibility and speed.

Features

Palletizing capacity worthy of our high-speed age

Kawasaki palletizing robots deliver the high-speed operation needed for distribution. Based on a robot stroke of 400 mm upward-downward and 2,000 mm in the left-right direction, the RD080N can perform 900 cycles per hour with loads of 80 kg, and the CP180L achieves an industry leading 2,050 cycles per hour with loads of 130 kg.

Compact applications

The Kawasaki RD080N is designed specifically for applications where a compact, high-speed, palletizing robot is required. Despite its slim space saving design, the RD80N can manipulate loads up to 80 kg and create pallet stacks over 2 meters tall.

Large work envelope and high payload capacity

With the large vertical reach of 3,256 mm, the CP series robots are ideal for tall pallet stacks and multi-lane applications. The extra-long horizontal reach of 3,255 mm allows the robot to cover up to four pallets. The high payload capacity CP series robots can handle up to 700 kg. This allows for multiple product picks and complete pallet layer handling, resulting in fewer cycles per completed pallet.

Easy-to-use palletizing software K-SPARC

Available as an option, Kawasaki’s K-SPARC palletizing software enables users to quickly and easily simulate layout planning and operations, as well as create robot operation programs on a computer.

Space and energy saving

The CP series E03 controller is only 25% of the standard palletizing] controller size (41% with transformer unit) and fits under conveyors and other equipment. The E03 controller generates electric power while in a deceleration mode, reducing energy consumption and minimizing CO2 emissions.

E seriesThe E Controller combines high performance, unprecedented reliability, a host of integrated features and simple operation, all in a compact design.

FeaturesCompact

The E03 controller for CP series palletizing robots has far

less volume. You can use it in an upright-position or in a

stacked installation to reduce the footprint of this controller.

User-friendly operation

The easy-to-use teach pendant now incorporates motor

power and cycle start at your fingertips. Multiple

information screens can be displayed simultaneously. The

intuitive teaching interface is simple to use.

Programming ease & flexibility

A rich set of programming functions come standard with the

E Controller to support a wide range of applications.

Functions can be combined and easily configured within a

system to suit a particular application. Also, the powerful

Kawasaki AS Programming Language provides sophisticated

robot motion and sequence controls.

Advanced technologies

The enhanced CPU capacity allows for more accurate

trajectory control, faster program execution, and quicker

loading and saving of files. In addition, memory has been

expanded to meet the need for higher program storage

capacity. The controller comes equipped with a USB port for

external storage devices.

Easy maintenance

Modular components with limited cables translate into easy

diagnostics and maintenance. A host of maintenance

functions are available, including self-diagnostics on

hardware and application errors to minimize troubleshooting

and reduce MTTR (Mean Time To Repair). Remote diagnostics

via the web server function enables service support from

anywhere in the world.

Space and energy saving

The CP series E03 controller is only 25% of the standard

palletizing controller size (41% with transformer unit) and

fits under conveyors and other equipment. The E03

controller generates electric power while in a deceleration

mode, reducing energy consumption and minimizing CO2

emissions.
